Expected Outcomes
Measurable results our trades & construction clients achieve with project tracking automation.
Project status visible in real time to all stakeholders rather than only after manual status meetings or report preparation.
Schedule delays identified automatically as they occur rather than discovered at the next site meeting.
Weekly status reports generated automatically rather than manually compiled from multiple data sources.
The Challenge
Common project tracking automation challenges facing trades & construction businesses.
Project status known only to the site foreman and updated verbally at weekly site meetings
Schedule delays discovered too late to take corrective action, causing cascading impacts on subcontractor scheduling
Budget tracking performed monthly in spreadsheets rather than in real time as costs are incurred
Clients calling for updates because there is no systematic progress communication
Implementation
How we implement project tracking automation for your trades & construction business.
Centralise Project Data from Field and Office
Aggregate project data from job management systems, field crew updates, supplier delivery confirmations, subcontractor progress reports and building inspection results into a single project dashboard. Data flows automatically without requiring manual status update meetings.
- ✓ Tools: ServiceM8, Buildxact, Power BI
Track Milestones Against Programme
Project milestones including site preparation, rough-in, fit-off, inspection hold points and handover stages are tracked against the original programme. Delays are detected automatically and their impact on subsequent milestones calculated.
- ✓ Tools: Buildxact, Microsoft Project, ServiceM8
Generate Automated Status Updates
Weekly project status reports are generated and distributed to project stakeholders including builders, clients, subcontractors and certifiers. Reports include progress against programme, budget tracking, upcoming milestones and outstanding action items.
- ✓ Tools: Report Generator, Email Automation, Power BI
Trigger Alerts and Escalations
Budget overruns, schedule delays, failed inspections and missing documentation trigger automated alerts to the responsible project manager. Escalation chains activate when issues remain unresolved beyond defined timeframes.
- ✓ Tools: Alert Engine, ServiceM8, SMS Gateway
